Criminal Justice and Administration Building Improvement Bonds

With this bond authorization, we are planning to build a new Criminal Justice Building and renovate the current City Administration Building to develop a Criminal Justice and Civic Complex in Downtown Springdale.

The two buildings will be connected, and the Criminal Justice Building will house the Police Department, Information Systems, Criminal Investigation Division, City Attorney’s Office, and District Court. The Criminal Justice Building will not have a jail. The Administration Building will house current departments plus Community Engagement and the Building Department. The new building will make it easier for residents to access City services.

The City of Springdale held a public meeting to discuss the preliminary design of the Criminal Justice and Civic Complex on June 28, 2017.

The new City Council Chamber will have better sound quality and will be larger to accommodate our growing population.

The new Criminal Justice Complex will be an important development as part of our Downtown Master Plan.

The courtroom will be significantly bigger to accommodate the more than 20,000 cases our court sees every year.
